In modern society, advancements in science and technology impact every aspect of our lives. However, due to the complexity and specialized nature of science, there often exists a significant gap between the general public and scientific understanding. In this context, the role of science communication is becoming more important than ever. This presentation will explore how science communication decodes the 'language of science' into a form comprehensible to the public, and why this process is crucial.

We will examine various methods and channels of science communication, and discuss how they promote the dissemination and understanding of scientific knowledge. We will also address the challenges faced by science communication, such as the spread of fake news, conveying scientific uncertainty, and meeting the needs of diverse audiences.

In the 20th century, being literate meant being cultured or educated. But this is the 21st century, the age of science. Now we need scientific literacy. Science literacy does not require a lot of scientific knowledge.
It is the ability to doubt and to ask questions. There is an attitude that is required, and that is humility. Humility is acknowledging the limitations of one's instincts and knowledge, not being afraid to say "I don't know", and being willing to let go of old beliefs and embrace new perspectives when new facts are learned.
How to be skeptical? The simplest way is to use size and numbers. We don't need to be scientists to be scientifically literate. It's to live in a safe and secure world. Let's think together about how science can make our world cheerful and safe.
